The social work grand challenge to ensure healthy youth development necessarily involves a focus on violence prevention, including the prevention of sexual and dating violence during adolescence. The experience of sexual and dating violence is associated with numerous and often long-lasting detrimental mental, physical, and social outcomes, many of which this grand challenge seeks to prevent. Although evidence shows that gender is a critical axis of identity to consider in violence prevention research and practice efforts, gender is not a central lens applied in the field's approach to such issues within this grand challenge. First, this article articulates a rationale for infusing a gender analysis into understanding sexual and dating violence and conceptualizing effective violence prevention strategies. Second, authors describe gender-transformative (GT) approaches to sexual and dating violence prevention, a promising practice for both ensuring the healthy development of youths and reducing violence perpetration by focusing on engaging boys and young men. Third, authors discuss the potential for GT strategies to be used in prevention efforts targeting adolescent social issues more broadly. Last, authors call for practitioners and researchers focused on healthy youth development to apply a gender analysis in their efforts and articulate concrete ways to do so.

性别问题：将性别分析融入“所有青年的健康发展”大挑战

确保青年健康发展的社会工作重大挑战必然涉及对暴力预防的关注，包括预防青春期的性暴力和约会暴力。性暴力和约会暴力的经历与许多且往往是长期的有害精神、身体和社会后果有关，而这一重大挑战旨在防止其中许多后果。尽管有证据表明性别是暴力预防研究和实践工作中需要考虑的关键身份轴，但在这一巨大挑战中，性别并不是该领域解决此类问题的核心视角。首先，本文阐述了将性别分析融入理解性暴力和约会暴力以及将有效的暴力预防策略概念化的基本原理。第二，作者描述了预防性暴力和约会暴力的性别变革 (GT) 方法，这是一种很有前景的做法，通过关注男孩和年轻男性的参与，既可以确保青少年的健康发展，又可以减少暴力行为。第三，作者讨论了 GT 策略可用于更广泛地针对青少年社会问题的预防工作的潜力。最后，作者呼吁关注健康青年发展的从业者和研究人员在他们的工作中应用性别分析，并阐明具体的方法。作者讨论了 GT 策略可用于更广泛地针对青少年社会问题的预防工作的潜力。最后，作者呼吁关注健康青年发展的从业者和研究人员在他们的工作中应用性别分析，并阐明具体的方法。作者讨论了 GT 策略可用于更广泛地针对青少年社会问题的预防工作的潜力。最后，作者呼吁关注健康青年发展的从业者和研究人员在他们的工作中应用性别分析，并阐明具体的方法。
